Hard to believe we are in the second month of 2012 already!! Wow. No wonder I have the year down pat whenever I write the date out in full. I've had a month to practice it and get used to it.

Our scrapbooking challenge this time around is to scrap about our first love. For me - I chose my first pop star crush - as the first crush I remember (he didn't know) is in contact with me on Facebook, and my first boyfriend is as well - don't want to stir up any controversy!!! Lol. Anyway here is how I presented the scrapbook challenge to the DT:

Just in time for Valentine’s Day next month – your first love – a real boy or girl, try to include a momento from that time with them, or download an image or something from that era from the internet if you wish. A pop or movie star crush can be substituted for a real live crush if you are too shy to tell us how it really was!!!

Welcome!!!

We welcome entries that are not traditional scrapbooking - such as art journalling, painting, cards, mixed media, off-the-page work. However you like to create - we welcome your work!
